Roki Sasaki Won't Sign With Yankees
The New York Yankees have been told that Japanese free-agent right-hander Roki Sasaki will not sign with them, according to a source. Sasaki is one of the most prized free-agent arms this offseason and has already met with the Yankees, New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants, Texas Rangers, San Diego Padres and Toronto Blue Jays. Since Sasaki is under 25 with less than six seasons played professionally overseas, he's subject to the international bonus pool and its signing window, which opens on Wednesday. He will end up signing for something more in the range of Shohei Ohtani's $2.3 million bonus with the Angels in 2017. The Dodgers and Padres have been considered the front-runners for Sasaki's services all offseason, with a resolution likely coming later this week. Sasaki should be fantasy relevant immediately, although he comes with durability concerns.
